YouTube Downloader Chrome extension

First seen in 2009, Music, Videos & Photos. This page records what the extension did, whether it is still available, and what to use instead.

What it was

One of the first YouTube download extensions for Chrome, listed in late 2009 when extensions were still a developer channel feature. It placed a download link on the watch page and offered the available video formats. Like every YouTube downloader it was distributed outside the Chrome Web Store.

No longer available

Extensions that download YouTube videos or audio are prohibited by the Chrome Web Store's developer policies, so this extension was never carried by the store and is not distributed here. Downloading YouTube content is also against YouTube's terms of service. The list below shows the video downloaders the store does permit; they work on sites other than YouTube.
